New lead on dead man's identity

Police say they have received new information as part of an investigation into the identity of a man who was found dead near Nambour on Queensland's Sunshine Coast almost two years ago.

The man, believed to have been aged between 45 and 60, was found dead at Poona Dam in September 2008.

His death is not suspicious.

Police have tried unsuccessfully to identify him by his fingerprints, DNA and tattoos and through an international investigation.

Detective Senior Sergeant Damien Powell from the Missing Persons Unit says police have been told a couple of people from Kingaroy in the South Burnett may know the man.

"We are currently conducting further inquiries at Kingaroy which is a good thing because he did have a Kingaroy video card, a very old one, in his wallet. It was about the only piece of identification," he said.
